I am still a neophyte at creating books for the PRS505. I have done some experimentation with BookDesigner - but as a Mac person I found it a bit on the cumbersome side and it did not always do what I expected it to do. In fact I never did get the linking of chapters to work in the manner I would have expect - namely whilst I got a perfectly usable TOC for the PRS505 I never got to the point where the lines in the "Contents" page worked at all. I follow the direction in the tutorial uploaded by Harry T. And it just did not want to work.

Moreover I wanted to do all of the editing on the Mac side and then create the final file with libprs500. My first approach was to break the file into seperate HTML files for each chapter and title page and to then create an index page with links to the individual files. I then imported the files into a PDF file wiht Adobe Acrobat and fed it to libprs500. This gave me a basic good file and using the imported file bookmarks in Acrobat I was able to get a pretty good TOC. But some of the text was not formatted to my liking.

I took another look at the ouput file from BookDesigner and noticed that it was nothing more than an HTML file generated from Microsoft Office. So I decided to edit file in Adobe Go Live creating the necessary links to the chapters for a TOC. This file looked quite reasonable when converted to ,lrf with llibprs500 with the exception that there was no real break between chapters. Sooo...... I opened the file with Micrsoft Word and put section breaks between the title page, contents page and the various chapters. The resulting book is in the attachment. It is pretty attractive, at least I think so and it was created enirely i the Mac enviroment.

My research shows that Brave New World is in the public domain in the US. I live in Arkansas so it is my belief that I can upload the file. if the forum monitors believe otherwise they may delete the file and write it off as the result of ignorance.
